Did you guys know Lukas Vermeer loves tacos?

Well he definitely does.

But he also has a really amazing perspective on leadership’s impact to growing experimentation.

You know what stood out to me the most by the way? The impact of working from home and the ability to build a culture of experimentation. It’s something I haven’t heard anyone talk about, and its VERY MUCH something to consider!

Do you have an experiment launch checklist? Well, you probably should.

And make sure it includes this one MOST IMPORTANT thing…

My mom literally still doesn’t really know what I do. And she listens to every episode of my podcast 🙂 lol

Thing on my mind

Leadership can make, or break, your experimentation program. Or really anything you have to do (product owners, marketing as a whole, etc). Making your work and program anti-fragile, as Lukas mentioned, should be the priority. Not bubble wrapping it - proofing it so if stuff happens it’s RESILIANT.

We need more of this kind of conversation. Not just “build a culture of experimentation.” It’s “build an ANTI-FRAGILE culture of data-driven decision making”. Because that is more foundational, and bulletproofs experimentation.

How do we do that? Good question. I’m still trying to work on how to do it. It’s not as easy as “follow this checklist and boom you got it.” It’s very unique.

Something of a framework that should be thought about. But continue to think of ways to make your work, and contribution, anti-fragile. It’s an incredibly hard thing to do, but if you’re able to crack that, you’ll have a lot more fun in your life
